“Patty has been great with my dog Nova! My dog is a nervous girl around new people. Patty took the time to allow nova to slowly warm up to her on their initial visit, and even offered to come over later that night while I was home so she would be in a more comfortable environment if needed. Nova now loves seeing Patty and I’m overall very happy with the service!”
“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and daily routines. Whether it’s energetic puppies, playful cats, or senior pets who need extra care and attention, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during mornings, weekends, and other available times throughout the week. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can dedicate quality attention to making sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment.

I have had stray cats walk up to me meowing hungry and I always try to go out of my way to feed them and to give them some love . I truly believe every animal needs to be loved and it is our job as humans to do this. I am a dog and a cat person I have one of each at home which I love so much.

What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and potty routines, and I’m also comfortable administering medications or providing gentle care to older pets with mobility issues. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m walking, feeding, or simply spending time with them.

Taking care of animals is not just a task for me—it’s something I look forward to and naturally fits into my everyday life. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure—no small objects or hazards around, doors and gates are checked, and routines are followed to reduce stress. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, medical needs, and personality so I can provide personalized care and maintain consistency. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely—feeding times, walk routines, or any specific care preferences. I also keep them updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes to build trust and give them peace of mind.

Whether I’m in their space or mine, I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and full attention.

About: hi all ! :) due to my job, I am not able to have a pet, so I feel very sad without her. I used to use Rover as a way for my dog to have a friend over, but now it’s mostly for my sake of missing having pets around. After all, dogs are everyone’s best friend and makes the world go round! Or at least for me. Anyway, because I miss my dog, I am quite sad of not being able to take her to the beach, on hikes or even as simple as car rides or even cute little couch cuddle sessions. So if your dog came over, I would guarantee to help your dog feel safe, welcome, spoiled, and have lots of fun :) When I did have a doggy, I would feed her twice or three times a day, depending on exercise. Walk them 2 or 3 times a day. Take them to dog parks, the beach, hiking etc. Also administer ointments for seasonal allergies. There are a few parks around I can take them to. We take them hiking or to the beach. My dogs also used to have a bed of her own that they sleep at night with a comforter (literally).
About: I feed my 4 years old French Bulldog Lovebug. I gave a bath to her.

Play inside and outside . I have a nice place for the dog to play around inside

Patty has been great with my dog Nova! My dog is a nervous girl around new people. Patty took the time to allow nova to slowly warm up to her on their initial visit, and even offered to come over later that night while I was home so she would be in a more comfortable environment if needed. Nova now loves seeing Patty and I’m overall very happy with the service!
Aileen came through for us again! We asked her to come an hour early since Kingsley was upset being closed in, and then asked her to come back later that day when plans changed, and she made it work both times. Kingsley still barks at first, but he's warming up to her faster each visit thanks to her patience (and lots of treats). We're so grateful to have someone so flexible and caring with our boys while we're away!🐶🐺🤎
Denise was AMAZING! My dog was very anxious when I left and Denise did a fantastic job of caring for my dog while also doing a little bit of extra cleaning because of a few accidents. Denise was always in communication and constantly updated me whenever she would walk my dog about her status, eating habits and how my dog was feeling. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker! She's awesome :) Thanks again Denise!
Gabrielle was phenomenal. She was attentive to our highly energetic dog’s needs. She was very communicative and thorough with our dog, definitely giving us peace of mind while we were away on a trip. The updates and pictures she sent us of our dog Bruno showed how great of a time he had!
My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.
